Answer:
25150
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to see that this is an arithmetic sequence... since to get the next element we add 5 to it. (a geometric sequence would be a multiplication, not an addition)
So, we have a, the first term (a = 4), and we have the difference between each term (d = 5), and we want to find the SUM of the first 100 terms.
To do this without spending hours writing them down, we can use this formula:

If we plug in our values, we have:

S = 50 * (8 + 495) = 50 * 503 = 25150
Answer: it seems to be D, but the equation makes practically no sense!
The value of the factor changes for the different amounts of service years and vacation weeks.
Step-by-step explanation: The equation means that the employee is trying to figure out the value of the "v-factor" for how vacation time is earned.
If you substitute the number of service years into the left side of the "formula" and vacation weeks on the right side, then solve for "v", v(15)=5 you get v= 1/3 or 0.33
If you substitute other numbers, like v(2)=2, so v= 1 then v(30) = 8, v = 4/15 or 0.2667. You see the factor's value decreases. The company is much more generous to to employees with one or two years of service than with the older ones.
Answer:
x = 147/5 and y = 78
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve by substitution and put 78 into y in -5x + 2y = 9 so you get 147/5
then plug 147/5 into x and find y
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8/5.
4x-16=32
Move 16 to the other side
4x=32+16
add numbers on the right side
4x=48
divide both sides by 4
x=12
4 + 2h < -3
2h < -7
h < -3.5
x ∈ (-∞, -3.5)
